I Will Stand Fast

The echoes of childhood whisper violence

Cold wind beating out of the past

Rage in your throat, muffled silence

Hold on, I will stand fast

In the darkness your guardians had left you

Cold wind beating out of the past

None to hear your cries, none to defend you

Hold on, I will stand fast

I will stand fast, I will stand fast

You are safe in the daylight at last

Nightmare and fear, they have no power here

I will stand fast

I will listen to the terrors that tried you

Cold wind beating out of the past

I will cradle the child that breathes inside you

Hold on, I will stand fast

Though you take the shape of a hundred ancient horrors

Cold wind beating out of the past

Though you strike at me and flee into your sorrow

Hold on, I will stand fast

I will stand fast, I will stand fast

You are safe in the daylight at last

Nightmare and fear, they have no power here

I will stand fast

Birds flash upon a branch in winter

Cold wind beating out of the past

Ice in the sun begins to splinter

Hold on, I will stand fast

You will walk with no fetters to bind you

Cold wind beating out of the past

All the love you have wanted will find you

Hold on, I will stand fast

I will stand fast, I will stand fast

You are safe in the daylight at last

Nightmare and fear, they have no power here

I will stand fast

I will stand fast
